I thought there was only one good song on KNOCKED OUT LOADED ("Got My Mind
Made Up"). Otherwise, that album was a real bummer.

I'm surprised that so many people dislike KOL so much. (Am I the only person
in the world who likes Brownsville Girl?)



No, I think it's great too. The way the point of view and the
different
threads of the story keep changing, is brilliant. As I recall, there
is
another writer also credited on the song. Does anyone know what he
contributed?


I like Kris Kristofferson's song
'They Killed Him,' but I think throwing in the the children's choir for that
one was a bit much.


Throwing in the children's choir is ALWAYS a bit much. Yet, every
major star
seems to get around to doing it eventually. Is this some kind of
union rule?

Hi everybody,
Right now I'm witnessing a 92 per cent eclipse of the sun. It's exactly as
follows:


'Darkness at the break of noon -- (it's minutes after 12 p.m. over here)
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon'



hiding behind the moon again! egads....

the sun's not yellow - it's chicken.
